So is there some way to disable ansel? my fullscreen games, even non steam/etc drm free games, keep minimizing themselves randomly and I've turned off everything in startup not labeled MS and the general opinion of 2 year old threads on google is that it's a overlay issue, have tried the nvinspector method, tried the going to system32/driverstore/etc opening powershell typing "NvCameraEnable.exe off" both methods bounce an error my way, all other "fixes" lead to files or folders that don't exist anymore, don't even know if this is the problem but I'm out of ideas.

With the market the way it is they'll move everything they've got in ten seconds flat at 50% over MSRP regardless, so why do it. I eventually got my 2 fan 3060ti that i signed up for on release day which was the cheapest one  I actually need to do something with that.

apparently the price i had been quoted had changed - evga had just put up it's prices in this region i think in response to brexit stuff? - but because the email i got had the old price and i was charming and polite the dude gave it to me at the old RRP. cannot recommend scan highly enough if you're shopping in the UK, extremely happy with my purchase.

mA posted:I mean the difference between a "lower end" and "high end" 3070 means what in the most extreme scenario? A few percentage points difference in performance on average (assuming that this discrepancy isn't just random variance)? If you hit the silicon lottery, maybe 5% - 10%? It's sad to hear that your friend is getting bummed out over this insignificant stuff given that he hit the lottery by being able to buy one. I was over the moon when I got mine. My friend got all frowns when he got his 3070 because the temps might be higher.

CoolCab posted:I got an EVGA XC3 Ultra 3070 for 584 quid delivered after about a week of looking which I am very happy with. In my case it was a report from a stock discord that scan.co.uk were accepting order requests via their messaging service then parleying that into talking to a sales rep on the phone because "well, your other rep said to call this number" and being polite and kind in my interactions with a very very tired sounding salesperson at 1728 on a Friday. I also as aftercare wrote a very kind letter thanking him personally to his customer service department, then following their request putting a very positive review up on Trustpilot. I got very, very, very very very lucky, but cards do exist and a combination of fortune and being nice managed to get me sorted. I recommend it - these reps go from being screamed at by miners to being screamed at by gamers, and a little honey goes a long way. in this specific instance they got a shipment of cards in but for whatever reason weren't putting them on the website right away, something was down or something? anyway following other people in the discord i put in a request via their automated message system, got a pricelist and could use that as an in. i suspect it happens somewhat frequently given they appear to have their own backend for telesales calls but i also heard chatter that the sales reps got told off for wasting their time answering these calls all day, no idea how true it is. so, mostly luck.

I think it's great that there's so much access to information and benchmarks around GPUs nowadays, but I think a not so good side effect is that this environment also promotes a type of neuroticism (e.g. an unhealthy version of informed consumer) where even during a historic GPU shortage, you torture yourself over some trivial differences that would only matter in a tiny number of scenarios because you watched a Gamers Nexus benchmark video. mA fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Feb 24, 2021 |

This whole situation really showed me that if buyers lack their own personal heuristics for buying decisions, then they are not going to get something that is good enough for their situation. Like I understand my friend wanted a 3080 but he has a 1440p, 165hz monitor. I was in the same position when I was trying to buy one since September. However, it made no sense when I am not driving 4K and the scarcity of 3080 cards in Canada makes it next to impossible to get one unless you have insane luck. Hell, he was more upset that the 3080 he was trying to get got sold out when he was trying to put in the security code for his credit card on checkout. Personally I use reviews to temper my expectations of a product or idea, because I sometimes I expect too much out of things i purchase. I don't do what Reddit does and have to rank every product, deconstruct every bit of information as evidence and endgame every purchase I make. If it is good enough for me, then it's great.

Eh, 1440p 165hz is still difficult to drive in newer games even for a 3080. Sure, you'll "only" get about 100-140 FPS but if you really want the most out of it it won't be wasted. Then of course there's games coming out which are going to load on RTX effects and drop those framerates back down to 50-80 FPS.

There are a lot of companies who are pretty concerned about the current state of affairs, where large chunks of the US economy effectively depend on one company who just happens to live right next to China. 'course whatever efforts the government attempts to utilize to coax fabs back to the US are gonna take the better part of a decade to mean anything, but that doesn't mean they're a bad idea.

Rinkles posted:What caused the chip shortage for cars? Everyone is saying it's because surging demand for laptops and webcams and other poo poo people were buying during covid ate up all the supply. The car makers probably canceled orders of chips when they scaled back production last year and now they want to put new orders in to TSMC et al but they're in the back of the line behind everyone that's been ordering for the past year.
